Have Your Seafood Cooked at Sea House Restaurant & Grills

Once you’ve got your fish cleaned and prepped, take it to the window at Sea House Restaurant & Grills. The gentlemen there will marinate your seafood with a delicious sauce and cook it over an open flame.

You can choose to eat your meal at the Sea House Restaurant or have it wrapped up in a take-away box. The Sea House Restaurant has two or three tables where you can sit down and enjoy your food.

I forgot to ask about how much it cost to grill the fish. I checked Zomato and a reviewer quoted:

Overall Impression of the Abu Dhabi Fish Market?

Even though it’s a fish market, it’s really more than that.

The Abu Dhabi Fish Market can actually be called an authentic seafood restaurant with a dining experience.

If you’re a tourist, stop by and have lunch one day. The place is clean and the folks working there are very friendly.
